More than 100 people gathered at the Sky Bar to watch two Auburn University students eat spiders, survive being buried alive and finally dynamite their way out of the top floor of a mansion to win $250,000 on NBC's "Fear Factor."

Chad Granger, 22, and Lacy Moulton, 21, beat out five other couples in a series of nauseating and scary stunts during a three-part "Fear Factor: Psycho" series that concluded Tuesday night.

Besides buying a new truck and saving for dental school, Granger said he plans to give 10 percent of his winnings to charity. He also wants to buy something special for his younger brother, Brett, who had tried out for the show with him. But producers eventually chose Moulton to join him instead.

Moulton, who was with Granger watching the taped finale of the show at Sky Bar Tuesday, said she will buy a new camera, phone and a TV.
